Meet the Owner

Tim “TJ” Johnson

In 2001, TJ started mowing lawns and taking on small landscaping projects during evenings and weekends while working an office job by day. What began with a mower and a few small jobs grew into the company TJs is today.

Growing up on a farm in Danville, Ohio, shaped his approach to work: consistency, self-discipline and solving problems when plans change. More than 25 years later, he is proudest of the people behind the work.

“Seeing the satisfaction on a client's face when a project is finished is rewarding, but seeing the pride on our team's faces is just as meaningful.”

TJ earned his bachelor's degree in business management from Mount St. Joseph University, where he was starting defensive back #27. Away from work, he enjoys family time, golf and Buckeyes football. O-H!

“Our dedication and attention to detail, especially the little things, make a project special in the end.”

He grew up in Oxford, graduated from Miami University in 1986 and earned his Master's in Landscape Architecture from the University of Michigan in 1988.
